JavaScript

K-Meleon has built-in support to run ECMAScript (a.k.a. JavaScript).

Java Applets

You have to install the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) to run Java applets in K-Meleon. Once installed, K-Meleon automatically detects your JRE installation and no other configuration is necessary.

K-Meleon has been tested with JRE 1.5. You can download JRE 1.5 from the Java website. To see if JRE is properly installed, type about:plugins in the URL bar. If you see the Java Plug-in listed, K-Meleon properly recognizes the JRE.

Known Issues/Problems

General

When viewing web page source from dynamically generated pages, the current source may not match the displayed page.

The URL bar content is not updated if you go back/previous just after having edited it.

When layers are activated, K-Meleon may not always exit properly.

Browser Display

Colors do not display properly when monitor resolution is set to 256 colors since Mozilla/Gecko does not provide proper support for 256 colors. See Mozilla Bug #88560.

A site not displaying properly is normally caused by one of two issues:

The site is not compliant with current HTML standards.

The display problem is due to a Mozilla/Gecko bug.

Mouse wheel scrolling/Multiple mouse buttons

The Mouse Gesture support offered by the new plugin is very limited. Gestures are disabled by default, you can enable them in the plugins section of the preference panel. Users in need of more advanced gestures are advised to use a third-party program, such as StrokeIt.

Mouse wheel scrolling does not work with all drivers. If you have problems, try updating your driver or disabling any "helper" programs that your mouse uses.

K-Meleon may not recognize secondary control buttons on mice with multiple buttons. If your mouse software permits programming, you may want to try binding those buttons to the respective keyboard commands that K-Meleon uses for navigation.

Third party Plugins

Most Mozilla-compatible plugins work with K-Meleon. If you already have Mozilla-compatible plugins installed, K-Meleon will detect and use a number of these plugins. You can download Mozilla/Netscape-compatible plugins from here.

The most current versions of Flash Player and Shockwave Player support K-Meleon 1.1. To check to see if these are installed properly, visit Shockwave's test site. When installing either program if you are asked for the location of the plugins directory, use the following location: \Program Files\K-Meleon\plugins

Proxies

K-Meleon can be configured to work properly with proxies such as Junkbuster that do not support the most recent HTTP specification. By default, K-Meleon tries to use HTTP 1.1. To use K-Meleon with a proxy that only supports HTTP 1.0, change the HTTP version under Edit - Preferences - General.
